We need some new gdbarch hooks to help us manipulate memory tags without having to have GDB call the target methods directly. This patch adds the following hooks: gdbarch_memtag_to_string -- Returns a printable string corresponding to the tag. gdbarch_tagged_address_p -- Checks if a particular address is protected with memory tagging. gdbarch_memtag_matches_p -- Checks if the logical tag of a pointer and the allocation tag from the address the pointer points to matches. gdbarch_set_memtags: -- Sets either the allocation tag or the logical tag for a particular value. gdbarch_get_memtag: -- Gets either the allocation tag or the logical tag for a particular value. gdbarch_memtag_granule_size -- Sets the memory tag granule size, which represents the number of bytes a particular allocation tag covers. For example, this is 16 bytes for AArch64's MTE. I've used struct value as opposed to straight CORE_ADDR so other architectures can use the infrastructure without having to rely on a particular type for addresses/pointers. Some architecture may use pointers of 16 bytes that don't fit in a CORE_ADDR, for example. gdb/ChangeLog: 2021-03-24 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org> * arch-utils.c (default_memtag_to_string, default_tagged_address_p) (default_memtag_matches_p, default_set_memtags) (default_get_memtag): New functions. * arch-utils.h (default_memtag_to_string, default_tagged_address_p) (default_memtag_matches_p, default_set_memtags) (default_get_memtag): New prototypes. * gdbarch.c: Regenerate. * gdbarch.h: Regenerate. * gdbarch.sh (memtag_to_string, tagged_address_p, memtag_matches_p) (set_memtags, get_memtag, memtag_granule_size): New gdbarch hooks. (enum memtag_type): New enum.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
